As of now nginx doesn't support ssl backend connections in mail 
proxy module, and there is no plans to implement it in near 
future.  It's assumed that environment between frontend (nginx) 
and backend isn't hostile.  If this isn't the case in your 
installation - you may consider using some sort of secure tunnels 
between frontends and backends to make it non-hostile.
